Throttle Cable Retention Nuts

NHTSA #12V457000 · Equipment · NHTSA notice

Reported September 18, 2012 · POLARIS INDUSTRIES, INC.

Potentially affected: 6,618 vehicles

Manufacturer campaign V-12-01 · Owners notified October 4, 2012 · Vehicles built January 3, 2012 – August 15, 2012 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Polaris is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Victory motorcycles manufactured from January 3, 2012, through August 15, 2012. A torqueing procedure may have been missed on some throttle cable retention nuts. On certain motorcycles, the throttle cable retention nuts for either the pull or push throttle cable may have not been torqued correctly.

Safety consequence

If the torqueing is missed and the retention nuts are loose, the retention nuts closest to the throttle body can become dislodged and interfere with the throttle function, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Victory will notify owners and dealers will correctly torque the fasteners free of charge. The safety recall began on October 4, 2012. Owners may contact Victory consumer service department by calling 1-888-704-5290.

Notes

Polaris' recall number is V-12-01.Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
